Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
The hotel is very cute and there are some pros: a great food truck, nice lobby space, in-room fridge. The hotel is right on a very busy street so you hear traffic in your room, especially if your room is toward the front of the property. The bathrooms are old and the shower had bugs in it. There was a dj set the Saturday night I was there and it went on an hour after the listed end time and with my room being so close to the lobby I could hear everything. The staff seemed totally unbothered and didn’t have an option to move me to a quieter room.

The property is obviously dated. The location is okay; two miles from downtown. There’s an adequate food truck and modest bar. The air conditioner was noisy and alternated between sounds of a wind turbine and Harley Davidson—don’t expect a good nights sleep.

El Ray is a time honored tradition. It has been the hot spot and an off spot over its many years. I am quite sure it has never bee as great as it is right now. Enough of everything for all members of a family including your pups, beautiful oasis from the strip of once great roadside stopins. A good food truck that meets all your needs while not competing with Santa Fe’s best, and the ease of friendly people and great management.
